NOTE:

This chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and configured. If it has not, please refer to

Chapters 2 and 3.

The DVR’s controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are

recording and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over

recording and playing back video. You can establish recording schedules based

on time of day and day of the week. The DVR allows you to search through the

recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than those available with

VCRs. Additional DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote

control and viewing, and recording video at the same time you are watching

previously recorded video.

The front panel controls are described in Chapter 3 — Configuration.

4.1 Turning on the Power

Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2 —

Installation, it is ready to record. Plugging in the power cord will cause unit to go

through its self-diagnostics.

4.2 Live Monitoring

As soon as the DVR completes its initialization process, it will begin showing live

video on the attached monitor and playing live audio through the attached speaker.

The default mode is to display all cameras at once. Pressing any camera button

will cause that camera to display full screen. It displays live video and plays live

audio until the user enters another mode.

Pressing the Display button cycles the DVR through the different display formats.

Pressing the Sequence button will cause the cameras to display sequentially on

the monitor. When in one of the multi-view formats, pressing this button will cause

the DVR to through user-defined screen layouts (page sequence), or the bottom,

right screen to display live cameras sequentially (cameo sequence). Selecting

another display mode, or pressing the Sequence button again will exit the

Sequence mode. When in one of the multi-view formats, pressing the Left or Right

arrow buttons will cause the DVR to go to the previous or the next page. For

example, if you press the Right arrow button while in 4x4 format, the DVR changes

the page as follows:

Pressing the Freeze button will freeze the current image on the screen until you

press the button again.
